Allisa Clodfelter is a licensed professional clinical counselor (OH LPCC E.2505435) and a life and performance coach practicing in Ohio. She is known for her versatility in working with couples, providing life coaching to individuals, and offering performance coaching for athletes and executives, combined with a warm and approachable demeanor.

She advocates that understanding oneself and one’s relationships is not only for people in crisis but can help anyone work toward their most elite selves. She adapts skills used by elite athletes for everyday life and helps clients trace how they arrived at their current situation and build a bridge to where they want to be.

In couples work she offers pathways that turn triggers into teachers, helps unravel the mystery of calm communication during conflict – including situations involving infidelity – and provides perspectives that promote a deeper understanding of what is really happening between partners.

She regularly works with couples in crisis and couples seeking pre-marital counseling, individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and addictive behaviors across the lifespan, and people navigating divorce, dating, and life transitions. She also supports athletes dealing with performance anxiety, addictive behaviors or clinical issues, those seeking next level performance, or athletes returning from injury, as well as coaches and parents of student athletes looking to provide next level support. Parents seeking skills to prepare their children for life and to foster greater peace and harmony at home also commonly seek her services.

Allisa holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with graduate studies in school psychology and advanced child development from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. She has eight years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and athletes in a private practice setting, plus two years of internship experience in addiction treatment at Brightview Health in Cincinnati. Her clinical interests include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Reality Discipline Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Care, and Solution Focused Therapy. She also brings twelve years of experience in special education pre-k and early childhood development classrooms and six years as a competitive girls’ volleyball coach and student advocate. She is a proud mother of two and grandmother to two grandsons.

Her specialties include addictions, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and career concerns. She practices as a female, older, non-religious, liberal therapist.
